FunctionInvolved in mycolic acids modification. Catalyzes unusual S-adenosyl-methionine-dependent transformation of a cis-olefin mycolic acid into a secondary alcohol. Catalyzes introduction of a hydroxyl group at the distal position on mycolic acid chains to produce the hydroxyl mycolate. Mycolic acids represent a major constituent of the mycobacterial cell wall complex. Methyl transfer results in formation of a secondary hydroxy group with an adjacent methyl branch; olefinic mycolic acid methyl transferase. Has also cyclopropane function.
ProductMethoxy mycolic acid synthase 2 MmaA2 (methyl mycolic acid synthase 2) (MMA2) (hydroxy mycolic acid synthase)
CommentsRv0644c, (MTCY20H10.25c), len: 287 aa. MmaA2, methoxy mycolic acid synthase 2 (methyltransferase) (see citations below). Equivalent to AAC44874|AAC44874.1|cmaC methyl transferase (mycolic acid modification protein) from Mycobacterium bovis BCG strain Pasteur (287 aa); and highly similar to others from Mycobacteria e.g. upstream ORF P72028|mmaA4|Rv0642c|MTCY20H10.23c putative methoxy mycolic acid synthase 4 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (301 aa). Note that alternative start is at position 739247.

ProteomicsIdentified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the membrane protein fraction and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate (See de Souza et al., 2011). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011) (See Kelkar et al., 2011).
MutantNon-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Disruption of this gene provides a growth advantage for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Non essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv and CDC1551 strains (see Sassetti et al., 2003 and Lamichhane et al., 2003). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
